#207 of 216 Transmission replacement by duntov Aug 01, 2009 (8:16 am)
I had a auto repair shop remove, rebuild and replace the transmission in my 1998 F-150 Ford pick up and it cost $1600 including a new torque converter and I thought that was a little high. I paid it anyway because the shop was recommended by a person who had a transmission replaced there. The cost of removing, rebuilding and replacing any model of passenger car or pick up transmission is about the same price. A price of $3,000 is far too high. You can do better than that at neary any repair shop. I have never heard of a rebuilt transmission costing more than $1800 including a new torque converter. The additional labor cost for removing and replacing a transmission is from $200 to $250.

Replying to: rustysblazer87 (Aug 13, 2009 5:51 pm) As it was explained to me by a mechanic, there are stainless steel rollers in the transmission that roll up and down on a 'track'. The 'track' is made of aluminum, the rollers have carved out a groove and are now stuck in this. I had to trade mine in, he said I would have to replace the transmission. Which I didn't have the money for. This is also a common 'problem' with GMC and Chevy Blazers.

#212 of 216 1997 zr2 4WD transmission issues by lynn72 Sep 04, 2009 (2:23 pm)
I have a 1997 Blazer the started shifting weird about 2 weeks ago and had a weird vibration starting off and slowing down and finally wouldn't move past 2nd gear. I have up to aprox. 25MPH and then it just slips can keep it barely moving if you run at a high rpm. If I stop and start again I can get up to 25 mph and then it goes again. After this started transmission fluid was really low but there is no leak anywhere on the ground. Reverse is fine. Prior to this happening (for a few months before) we heard a hissing noise but we find no leaks of vacuum or fluid. Any help is really appreciated. Thank you   TCC was replaced still no luck.   It is the 4L60E transmission.
#213 of 216 1998 S-10 Blazer by bbarner Sep 11, 2009 (5:25 pm)
I have a 98 Blazer and it was parked for about 8 months when I parked it everything was fine. Now when I drive it, the transmission shifts through all of the gears and when it gets to overdrive it shifts in and out constantly and the tachometer jumps all over the place from 1400-2100 RPM at 50-55 mph. I checked the tranny fluid it is full I don't know if this tranny, 4L60E has an electrical lockup converter or what, or am I looking at replacing the tranny. the Blazer has 163,000 and runs great. any help or ideas would really be appreciated, thanks.

I have a 97 blazer for four year and have had no major problems til now.It started when it would rain it would idle high and not shift.Ive put new cap rotor wires and plugs.She ran fine but today I got in and she runs great but now when you come to a stop and take off she doesnt want to move.After she gets moving she runs fine but doesnt do it all the time just once in awhile.Is that the tranny going out or what could it be.Thanks for any input.Dont know what to do next.
#216 of 216 1997 Blazer transmission problems by rickyomer Oct 12, 2009 (7:18 am)
Hello, I have a 1997 S-10 blazer, 4.3 v/6. I have had it a couple of months, the mileage is just over 163,000. The tranny has been shifting fine but this morning the check engine light came on and the tranny did not want to down shift back into first gear. I could manually shift fine. I talked to the guy I got it from and he said it had done the same thing. He changed the fluid and filter less than 1500 miles ago. It then sat for about 6 months and the battery was dead when I bought it from him. I read the other forums and disconnected the battery and let set for about 30 minutes. The check engine light is gone and it shifts great. I would like to know what I can do to prevent this happening again. Thanks, Ricky
